jordi fita mas 7330ae83ec Copy RecordArray from pgtype to database
Debian’s pgtype version is 1.10.0, but pgtype did not add RecordArray
type until 1.11.0, thus could not compile the application with
Debian 12.

I just copied the code from 1.11.0 without any modification besides
adding the reference to the pgtype package to types and functions.

jordi fita mas 403c27f1e1 Add the skeleton of the web application
It does nothing more than to server a single page that does nothing
interesting.

This time i do not use a router.  Instead, i am trying out a technique
i have seen in an article[0] that i have tried in other, smaller,
projects and seems to work surprisingly well: it just “cuts off” the
URI path by path, passing the request from handler to handler until
it finds its way to a handler that actually serves the request.

That helps to loosen the coupling between the application and lower
handlers, and makes dependencies explicit, because i need to pass the
locale, company, etc. down instead of storing them in contexts.  Let’s
see if i do not regret it on a later date.

I also made a lot more packages that in Numerus.  In Numerus i actually
only have the single pkg package, and it works, kind of, but i notice
how i name my methods to avoid clashing instead of using packages for
that.  That is, instead of pkg.NewApp i now have app.New.

Initially i thought that Locale should be inside app, but then there was
a circular dependency between app and template.  That is why i created a
separate package, but now i am wondering if template should be inside
app too, but then i would have app.MustRenderTemplate instead of
template.MustRender.

The CSS is the most bare-bones file i could write because i am focusing
in markup right now; Oriol will fill in the file once the application is
working.
